Local Backup/Restore should lock app

Open Rojikku opened this issue 3 months ago • 0 comments

Steps to reproduce

Local Backup/Restore

Expected behavior

Backup:

  • Some progress notification or something
  • Asks for file name before completion
  • Just save it to that file name when you're done
  • Notification for completed backup like GDrive has

Restore:

  • Full screen popup/lockout
  • Progress bar with some animation so I know it's not frozen
  • Ideally able to switch out of app while it works
  • Completion screen/notification
  • Just do a soft app restart after I hit OK when it's done or something, so stuff displays

Actual behavior

Backup:

  • App maybe gives a toast
  • No indication of progress
  • Multiple saves all at once when it does work
  • Interrupted backups can save with incomplete data which may trick users into believing they can cancel the others with no consequence, while the first failed
  • Yes other people will definitely do this

Restore:

  • My backup was 20MB
  • Toast pops up, then nothing for like 10 minutes. Maybe it failed. Maybe I missed it.
  • Try again, toast pops up, like 5 minutes later I see a ton more toasts.
  • App is not remotely restored, but I do see chapter data
    • Obvious UI/DB desync
  • Restart app, all is good
